L.V Wash is Hot Spot For Bass

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The Las Vegas Wash is a hot spot for both black bass and stripers. Black bass are hitting dark-colored plastics. Anglers are catching striped bass primarily with anchovies, but the fish also are taking jerkbaits. Anglers are finding good fishing for catfish in coves. Cut anchovies, night crawlers and stink baits will catch the fish.

2 Weeks Left In The Season

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

As the fish now remain in shallow water and paired up for spawn this can be a very fun but also frustrating time to fish here as you can see them but they can be very tight lipped. Please avoid targeting actively spawning fish here so they can eventually establish a self-sustaining population. Best fishing during mornings and evenings as it warms to the mid

Truckee is Running High and Clear

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

As anticipated, the Truckee River is still running high. However, most of the water is coming from dam releases making the river run clear. The main game is still mostly nymphing or tossing streamers. With the continuing large water, big “attractor” nymphs like rubberlegs or worms have been best. Pheasant tails in a size 12-14 also do a good job imitating the march browns. Streamers

Nice Big Spring Flows

by MATT KOLES

Great last week on the Truckee River. We had a great clinic this weekend. Look for some more in the future. Nice big spring flows. Flows have dropped just a bit the last few days. Mainly it’s just what they’re doing with the reservoirs, not so much the run off that’s making the flows. If you noticed Boca is low as they are working on the dam. Yeah,

Excellent Mackinaw Fishing

Ranch Still Fished Well This Week

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The ranch still fished pretty well this week in spite of the higher flows. Most of the anglers this week reported 8 to 10 fish per day with some of them taping around 20 inches. This flow makes it harder to get these fish to the net as it gives them so much more power but it’s still doable! San Juan worms and Pat’s rubberlegs

No Wind, Great Action

by MIKE NIELSEN

Team Schear from Texas on the annual trout assault! No wind, great action. Lost probably 7 or 8 fish. Kept 5 Rainbows, and 6 macs and let go another handful of fish go! Action came between 6:45 and 8:45 am! Had cancellation for tomorrow.... who wants in?

Lake is Spilling

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The lake is full and spilling and the water is stained but not too badly. Surface water temperatures are in the low to mid 50’s. While fishing has ranged from good to excellent this spring, it has slowed a bit, to just good. The usual PowerBait and worms for bait anglers have been working. For fly fishermen, this is chironomid season, so midge larva and

Fishing Has Been Fair to Good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Cave Lake is ice free and fishing for nine to 12 inch fish has been fair to good. Surface water temperatures are in the high 40’s but should cross into the 50’s soon if they haven’t already done so by the time you are reading this. The lake was stocked with approximately 3400 trout averaging around 11 inches. Most anglers are having luck with small

10-12 Inch Trout

Cold Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing here is fair to good for 10 – 12 inch trout and fair for bass. The lake was recently stocked with 2,000 rainbow trout averaging 11 inches last week. The usual worms, PowerBait, small spinners and flies should all work. Expect muddy road conditions to get here.

Reservoir Continues To Fill

Illipah Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The reservoir continues to fill with spring runoff and is turbid at the inlet end. The lake is ice free, approximately 85% full and fishing is fair to good. The usual spring time flies of wooly buggers, prince nymphs, hares ears and chironomid patterns should all work. Small spinners, PowerBait and worms should be effective as well. The lake is turbid so spin fishermen may

Monster Bass

Floyd Lamb Park

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Happy Friday! Another monster caught by Joe Whitaker. Thanks for always sharing Joe! He caught this one on a bluegill colored jig in deep water at Floyd Lamb Park. Anglers, remember not to harass bass on their beds, and to release the bass you catch. Head to ndowlicensing.com today to buy your fishing license. Check out our story to see video of this fish!

LCT Spawn is Still Ongoing

by RENO FLY SHOP

The LCT spawn is still ongoing at the lake. Fish are shallow and cruising in schools. Some of these shallow fish are willing to eat, but they are few and far between. The fish holding off of drop offs more willing to feed. These are the ones you want to cast to. Weather has been beautiful, sunny and clear skies. This has made fishing more difficult.

River Flows Have Dropped

by RENO FLY SHOP

River flows have dropped a lot since our last report. Flows are above 3,250 cfs at the Reno gage. We believe that these levels will be sustained for the next few weeks. Fishing has been amazing! It’s been really fun to explore the river looking for the perfect type of water, and even more rewarding when you start getting into fish in these areas. The water

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

Fishing is picking up here along the Colorado river below Davis dam. I have been hearing that at Lake Mohave the striper bite is starting to pick up as well. Our local angler Johnnie Johnson was fishing at the Big Bend State Park and landed a nice small mouth bass. While Leroy Morin Jr. was fishing for stripers in the Rotary park area and landed him
